Ibook g3 600 video repair program issues! dead 'book

Hi
My Ibook has scrambled video, etc. I know that it is one of the problems in the Ibook repair extension proublem. This is the first time this has happened. It was bought in Aug, 2002. The program was good for only three years. Has anyone resently had their logic board replaced for free?
This would help me get apple to replace mine!
Thanks

You can try calling Apple at (800) 767-2775 and ask for Customer Relations (NOT Customer Service--they can't help you) and ask them to please make an exception to the three-year limit in your case. They have been making a few exceptions to the rule.
Good luck.

  • IBook G4: no video on boot... not the typical iBook issue

    Hi,
    I just received an iBook G4 1.2Ghz that is broken. It powers on just fine, but no video comes up. I removed the 512MB stick it came with to see if that was the problem, to no avail. Then I connected the iBook to an external monitor, with no video on boot as well. But other than the lack of video, the iBook seems fine. No loud fans (widespread issue on the G4s) or noises from a dying HDD, etc. I can hear the hard drive spin up, but it doesn't sound like it's loading anything, so my guess is that it's actually not booting.
    But it gets even stranger. I can't even shut the laptop down by holding the power button (last resort type thing). I held it for a solid 20 seconds before I gave up and removed the battery. To me, it seems like this is a logic board problem, but I could be wrong. Anyone have any insight into this? I had an iBook that had video problems based on a weak GPU connection to the logic board, but this is different.
    Thanks,
    -Trevor

    You wouldn't happen to know if Apple still has their iBook G4 repair program going, do you? By the looks of the support website it doesn't look like it, but I thought I'd ask.
    In a bit of curiosity, I decided to try the "C-clamp" fix for the iBook. Amazingly, my iBook booted properly only to have it lock up again and see the screen change to colored vertical lines after 20 seconds. Like I said in my last post, I had another iBook that had a graphics chip problem and sometimes experienced similar issues. So now I think my iBook has more than one of the common iBook G4 logic board problems. The black screen/fans one is described here:
    http://coreyarnold.org/ibook/
    I tried to shim that specific chip as stated per the instructions, but it didn't work. I also did the same thing to this iBook, that fixed my older G4... shim the graphics chip. But, unfortunately, I still don't have a working iBook as of now, despite the shim. I thought I made progress when I started getting the fan on every boot (there was no noise +at all+ before), but that has since gone away and I'm back where I started. I'll keep trying different things to fix the iBook, but it think a logic board replacement is going to happen sometime in the near future. Anyone know where to find them besides eBay?
    Thanks,

  • Ibook dual usb video issue

    hi, i have a dual usb 600mhz ibook g3, the video is screwy you can still make out items on screen, this happens only when booted into the operating system, during bootup the apple logo and grey screen are fine and during target disk mode the firewire logo moves around all perfectly fine, so cant be a hardware issue? ive played with the system prefs and nothing, anyone got any ideas, thanks in advance

    You could try booting into Safe Mode. This will take quite awhile longer than a normal startup because it does a file check and repair of the hard disk.
    You will see your normal desktop. Once completely started up in Safe Mode, restart normally, and go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility.
    Select the named boot volume in the left sidebar ("Macintosh HD" unless you've renamed it). Repair permissions on it.
    See if a little hard drive maintenance helps things out.
    If that doesn't help, can you set up a new user and log out and log back in as the new user in order to see whether it may be a preference problem with your user account?
    Do you have the Mac OS X 10.4 Install disc and is it readable by the iBook?

  • This is not right: time limit on iMac G5 Repair Program

    iMac G5 Repair Extension Program for Video and Power Issues
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302181
    The program covers affected iMac G5 computers for up
    to three years from the original date of purchase.
    Apple sold iMacs G5 computers that were defective when they left the factory. Apple knows the cause of the defects. In some of the affected iMacs the defects manifested them earlier, in others later.
    That Apple is using a time limit for the free repair is not right because the manifestation of the problem is usage dependant - those who used their iMac little (and the problem appears late) are being penalized. The correct way would have been to recall and repair all of the affected iMacs or put no time limit on the free repair.

    Hello All,
    I agree as well. My iMac G5 would not power up on Saturday morning. I bought it in Feb. 2005. I had the logic board and power supply replaced in May 2006. My apple care ran out in Feb of this year. Still, I called Apple, thinking perhaps something could be done.
    The tech was very, very nice, and talked with his supervisor three times to see if perhaps I could get some kind of discount on a new computer. No go. And he explained that Apple is no longer making the old logic boards, they have to be made special, etc. I do feel a little cheated, since they replaced the logic board with one that had the same problems (opened it up--bulging capacitors with the cross mark on them). Well, it lasted two years after that, but we are not hard on our computers, and now I wish I'd have been less cautious with it. Maybe it would have died two months sooner when I still had Applecare!
    Nevertheless, I still went out and bought a new iMac 24 in. 2.8 with 4 GB ram and a new Airport Extreme Base Station (Apple products are still the best I've ever used). I'm going to wait awhile to get Apple Care--to extend my coverage time as long as possible, since even a couple months would have helped in my situation.
    Good luck to all you G5 owners. And thanks to all the people in the G5 forums that have been so helpful in the past. And Back-up often--you'll be glad you did.

  • When will there be a fix for the permissions problem in iTunes 11.1.1? I get a list of three or four-hundred when I run the repair program.

    Does anyone know when will there be a fix for the permissions problem in iTunes 11.1.1? I have a list of three to four hundred repairs everytime I use the repair program. ~Mike.

    Likely someone does but Apple has not stated if/wehn.

    Then don't use the repair program unless you are actually having an issue.

  • I have Adobe Elements 9 and I used to be able to export HD 1080p videos with no issue. But recently, when I export using H.264 MPEG or MPEG 2, which I normally used, the high resolution videos come out very choppy.  How can i fix this?

    mr
    Are you running the 9.0.1 Update of the program and on what computer operating system is it running?
    Is your video card/graphics card driver up to date according to the manufacturer of the card?
    Is your computer optimized, including maintenance of pile ups of preview files, conformed audio files, and conformed video files?
    Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer with Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1?
    What are your project settings and what are the properties of your source media? When you say that "used to be able to export...." is that on the same computer, same brand/model/settings for the camera recording the video now in use, same Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1?
    Where player are you using for the playback of these exports?
    Please give us more details on the size of the projects (then and now) as well as details of the customized export settings in your Share/Computer/ route. Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 is only a 32 bit application running in 32 bit or 64 bit system. Not sure if computer resources might be taxed more so now than before.
    More later.

  • Which version of 9.2.2 for iBook G3 600?

    I know the iBook G3 600 I have came with 10.1.4 and 9.2.2. I bought an iBook 9.2.2 Mac OS 9 Install CD that says it is CD version 1.3, has item number 691-3587-A. It boots from CD but when I try to install it says "this program cannot run on your computer...see documentation". The Before you Install says it runs on iBook, but at the bottom the date is 2001. My iBook is from 2002.
    Now. What should I be looking for on an install disk to make sure it's usable? I'm guessing my disk is too old for the iBook but I could not find anything on Apple's site to tell me which CD version would work.

    I haven't located the right 9.2.2 disk yet, but I now have Classic on my iBook. I copied the System Folder for Classic off my iMac G5 onto a thumb drive, and just copied it onto the iBook. Works just fine. Still keeping an eye out for the right disk, though.

  • IBook G4 logic board repair

    iBook G3 had a logicboard repair program
    http://www.apple.com/support/ibook/faq/
    Many iBook G4 purchasers have the same problem and "Apple accepts fault for defective iBooks in Denmark"
    http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/07/09/21/brieflyipod_estimates_top_10m_ibook_payout_korean_iphonetalks.html
    Can other customers expect any extention program for iBooks G4 bought since 2004?
    Thanks

    Well that chip in question is on the logic board.
    The steady deluge of complaints, and a subsequent investigation by the independent >lab Delta, led the Board to discover an easily repeatable flaw: a solder joint for >a mainboard chip would loosen with each press of the power button, invariably >causing a break in an important connection that would effectively kill the system
    This is not the only bad solder connection on these boards. U28 is another one that has problems for example.

  • Extended repair program?????

    Hi! i bought a used eMac that's freezing and it's serial number falls within the extended repair program for bad capacitors. Can I still get it fixed under the program? Thanks, Tom

    The serial number you provided indicates that it was manufactured in the 39th week of 2004. Apple believes that it was first purchased it in Canada late September of that year.
    The link to detailed information concerning the eMac G4 Repair Extension Program for
    Video and Power - June 2006 was removed following the expiration or the repair extension, but this page demonstrates that your unit met the basic serial number qualification test. Its symptoms as you describe them may or may not meet that test, and it surely fails the 'within three years of purchase' test, as well as the repair extension authorization program expiration test.
    That said, you may contact Apple at (800) APL CARE and ask about extended eligibility, or take or ship the unit to an Apple Store, or authorized apple dealer, value added reseller or service provider, any of whom can determine overall eligibility for you.

  • IBook G3/600 14" - how to install Classic OS 9?

    I bought a used iBook G3/600 14" without installation disks.  However, I received the original disks from Apple - four disks simply labeled Disk 1, 2, 3, 4.  The G3 is running OS X 10.4.  I need to run an old program that requires OS 9.  When I attempt to run the old program, the system attempts to open Classic and then I get an error that OS 9 is not installed and I need to install it from the installation disks, something about 'other software'.  Well, I have looked through all four disks and do not see any folder that resembles 'OS 9' or 'Classic'.  Should it be there labeled separately, or is it an option when installing OS X?  I attempted to start the OS X installation to see if something like that was an option and all that happened (and I let it run all night) was a white screen with the apple on it and the 'working' circle. 
    Obviously, I do not know my way around macs.  The manual that came with the iBook does not have software installation information.  Can anyone help me figure out how to get Classic/OS 9 properly installed alongside OS X so that I can run this program in Classic Mode?
    Edit:  From what I have gleaned from the internet, although I currently have OS X 10.4 Tiger installed, the iBook shipped out with 9.2.1 & X 10.1.2, so the installation disks would probably only have 10.1.2 on them.  With that being said, will I have to erase my hard drive and reinstall OS X 10.1.2 from the installation disks and check off install the OS 9 drivers?  I understand that means losing Tiger, but my only purpose for having this mac is to run that single program.  Do I have to restart the system with disk 1 in the drive and press C?

    I am in a similar problem and made a mistake when I got a OBS ( 14.1 LCD 32 VRAM iBook cheap it did not have the original grey grray disks Maybe 10.2 and I called Apple call centre just to ask what OS it needed and whether I could buy a set but the Australian guy said we do not have stock OBS obsolete Grey disks but would send a 10.4 free which turned out to be a retail international and does not support my iBook it kept on going into darwin black screen I had another sent same thing ,however I did have a set from a newer iBook 10.3   3 install disks 3 software restore disks an OX 9 disk and a AHT disk and 10.3 installed but I need the original AHT.
    what version is yours ? You have to read the version on the grey disks or you were not given a separate OX 9 I am sure they are on a separate disk If you want to keep the 10 .4 and reformat the HD and Partition the HD Buy a HD change the HD then put the older HD in a case  as a USB, then install your grey disks and the old may Boot up as a Boot up disk but it is a USB then you might be able to copy the OS onto your new HD but that may not work too
    Basically I have 2 retail international replacement disks that does not have AHT how come they sent you those 4 disks maybe they do not have OX 9 but you have to check the numbers for the Bundle my 3 Application disks are
    Disk 1.    2 Z 6 9 1  - 4 5   this number   5 4    - A  Disk 2 , .. 5 5 , Disk 3  , 2 4  ! check the numbers in sequence before A my 3  Software restore are Japanese  ! Aplications classic support J 6 9 1 - 45   5 6 -A but my O X 9  is 2 Z 6 9 1  -  5 7 2 1 - A ! There is a usually a sequence order pattern of numbers for the Bundle but sometimes they make a mistake and these numbers are to determine if they can be installed on certain machines most Disk can go in but only certain types can install look on your System profiler and copy it to another external because earlier versions do not have a detailed look at your computer.

  • 1st gen repair program time turnaround?

    It looks like i might have to return my imac for the 1st gen repair program - as I've started having major problems with the graphics display and waking up from sleep.
    Has anybody sent their imacs off to be repaired under this scheme - how long did it take?

    Submitted my information on the 13th of November and haven't received my shipping materials either.
    I was worried about the 10 day cancellation issue so I called Apple customer service this afternoon to check in. The CSR I spoke to said there was no record on my account of any box having been sent. She put me on hold to speak to some higher-ups to get more information, and when she came back told me that due to "far higher" than anticipated volume of recall requests, they're just really, really behind with mailing out boxes. She said "I was told to tell you to ignore the 10 day cancellation thing and whatever it says in the automatically generated email."
    She also said that when they DO send out my box, Apple will email me the UPS tracking number for my package. I'm not sure if this is something they do automatically for everyone, or if she did something on her end to get this set up for me.

    Thanks for the response.   My system is Windows 7 with a painfully slow ATT
    high speed connection.
    I got the "Cloud" including CS6 , yesterday,after a chat with a nice Indian
    fellow who called me back from Bombay.  Surprisingly he was looking forward
    to Thanksgiving too but probably because he gets a day off.
    I now have the Adobe Premiere Pro loaded (it took nine hours) and
    installed.  Now I'm starting the tutorials.
    Hopefully I'll be editing soon.
    Thanks again

    I followed all of the directions after seeing that my laptop flashed the folder with the question mark. But when I went to disk utility to repair/ verify issues w/ start up disk it would not allow me to. The buttons to repair and modify we're there but they were grey and couldn't be pressed.

    Were you trying to repair the disk you were booted from? You can't do that - you need to boot from your install disk, and choose 'Disk Utility' from the 'install' menu.

  • What is the best Videoing Chatting program to use for my Macbook Pro?

    I have had Skype for a while now and recently I updated to Skype 5, and the call qaulity is absolutely miserable, it keeps being blurry and freezing and it's a pain to try and talk through. So I was wondering is there any changes or fixes I can do to possibly make it better or improve the quality of my calls? If not is there any other good video chatting programs with good call qualities for Mac?
    Im using Skype on my macbook pro, just saying.

    How can you check if your wifi is good enough for a quality video call?
    Yes I would post on Skypes forum, but there people their are not very helpful or supportive, so Im trying to get other people's opnions on ways to improve the call quality or find a better program.
    Does anyone use any other video calling program that is just as good if not better? If so could you please mention it. I've looked on Google and I know some of the softwares or programs out there, but Id like to get peoples first hand experience with the programs and what they think of some of them out there.
